Originally posted by JMX Ok, then I apologize for my rant.
But using slang like that in this situation is asking for misunderstandings.

And I think this belongs in OT

No need to apologize JMX. I should have been more aware that this forum is visited by a large variety of individuals from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds and thus chosen my words more carefully. By the way, I spent quite a bit of time in the Cologne area. I'm an ex - US Air Force person who was stationed at Bitburg AFB in the city of Bitburg of course.

Instead of wars we could have concerts.

Thanks for your email.

I apologise for my misunderstanding - I didn't realise "cutting heads" was just another term for "dueling instruments".

You do realise you should have explained the term better in your original post - it sounded like you were advocating decapitation as a solution to the current conflict.

That was my mistake. I went back an edited all of my posts. If you read the original now you'll see that I tried to define what I meant. I hope that everyone understands now and that they have told the police that they aren't needed! Sorry about the mix up.

That's a good question melvin. I really hadn't thought of that angle. With the current leadership I'm sure that it would probably be someone that I'm not interested in. I'm not bashing the current leadership but I just don't see what appears to be music lovers among them. Now if Clinton were still in office it would definitely be a party man! He would probably have to go through years of legal proceedings afterwards but it would be a party that you would not want to miss! Bill Clinton blowing the sax on the Arsenio Hall Show--->
